Hmm, so a mammogram doesn't always catch it? There's no history of breast cancer in my family so I'm not too worried, but I would be if it's that hard to diagnose it.

My mom was diagnosed at 43. She passed away at 52.
I know Olivia has EXTREMELY DIFFERENT access to medical care than my mom did (and Olivia has the benefit of 11 years of medical advancement) but this is hitting hella close to home
